ok the updates i downloaded were suposed 2 update it 2 version 5.3.... and according 2 what i found on their site i had support 4 the drive because the update 4 the last version 5 is updated occasionally 2 make the software accept the new drive , acually i edited the updates file names and added a .exe to the end of the file names and they accutually opend but then i got a message saying the update was only 4 the platnum version . i can't imagine y they weren't executable when i got them and they weren't ziped files.
eventually i gave up and got a copy of roxio version 6 and it works fine.
the original files i downloaded were driveup5.3.5s[1] as in .5s[1] file extention
and ecdc_v5.3.5.10_plt_enu[1].10_plt_enu[1] as in 10_plt_enu[1] file extention
adding a .exe 2 the end of the file names made them open
odd huh?
